Using NetMos PCI single IEEE1284 printer port card:
puc0: <NetMos NM9805 1284 Printer port>
port 0xd000-0xd00f,0xd400-0xd407,0xd800-0xd807,
0xdc00-0xdc07,0xe000-0xe007,0xe400-0xe407
irq 19 at device 8.0 on pci0
>Description:
The new lpt device works correctly, but is extremely slow.
Attempting to enable ECP mode using "lptcontrol -e /dev/lpt0" succeeds,
giving a "lpt0: switched to polled extended mode" message.
However, attempting to print anything causes a (large) number of
"lpt0: advanced mode not avail, polling" error messages.
After trying a verbose boot I think the error is due to ppc_detect_fifo()
failing:
..
puc0: <NetMos NM9805 1284 Printer port> port 0xd000-0xd00f,0xd400-0xd407,0xd800-0xd807,0xdc00-0xdc07,0xe000-0xe007,0xe400-0xe407 irq 19 at device 8.0 on pci0
puc0: Reserved 0x8 bytes for rid 0x10 type 4 at 0xe400
ppc0: using extended I/O port range
ppc0: EPP SPP
ppc_detect_fifo: PWord not supported
ppc0: <Parallel port> on puc0
ppc0: Generic chipset (ECP-only) in ECP mode
ppbus0: <Parallel port bus> on ppc0
ppbus0: IEEE1284 device found /NIBBLE/ECP/NIBBLE_ID/ECP_ID/Extensibility Link
Probing for PnP devices on ppbus0:
ppbus0: <HEWLETT-PACKARD DESKJET 610C> MLC,PCL,PML
lpt0: <Printer> on ppbus0
lpt0: Interrupt-driven port
..
This is presumably due to the following XXX comment in ppc_detect_fifo.
/* XXX 16 and 32 bits implementations not supported */
if (ppc->ppc_pword != PPC_PWORD_8) {
LOG_PPC(__func__, ppc, "PWord not supported");
goto error;
}
>How-To-Repeat:
1. Install an ECP ppc which exibits the problem (e.g. NetMos NM9805)
2. Turn on extended mode (lptcontrol -e /dev/lptX)
3. Print something
4. Observe lack of working ECP mode
>Fix:
Unknown.
